Continuing my adventures with Hell Mod created by 56 (timestamps below), where I return to the now Infected Crossroads to defeat Failed Champion and then exploring the Ancient Basin to obtain double jump and defeat Lost Kin (losing once to each boss). I finish by exploring the Howling Cliffs to start the Grimm Troupe event and obtain the Grimmchild.

I noticed a bit of a glitch with using the dream nail with Dreamwielder. It appears the soul gained overcomes the soul binding effect of Hell Mod (unless you generate more soul from a nail strike, which seems to correct it). So Failed Champion plays out a little easier than expected. I also used it a bit for the Ancient Basin, but debating unequipping Dreamwielder for this run due to the glitch.

Hell mod changes are (Per the Readme):
* Damage taken is doubled
* Nail damage is cut in half
* Soul generation is cut in half (if you have a shade up you cannot generate any soul until it dies)
* The main soul bar can only hold one spell
* Focus speed is equal to the Deep Focus charm (Deep Focus is even slower)
* Spell damage is 5/6th of its normal strength (a small nerf)
* Zote can't be neglected (so no Vengefly King fight)

The readme also says nail upgrades were removed but that doesn't seem to be the case. Given you start with a 2 damage nail that's probably one small mercy.
